Get a larger SSD or HDD for mass storage, 250Gb isnt much. Dont get the founder edition, higher cost for worse performance over custom models. 

Please quote our replys so we get a notification and can reply easily. Never cheap out on a PSU, or I will come to watch the fireworks.

Are you sure you want the 6700K? An overclocked 6600K can do pretty well, the 6700K is not a bad deal but I think the 6600K is a better value, $/performance wise. :)

 

Also, I agree with @rn8686, maybe add a hard drive too! There are some great offerings from WD, with black friday coming you might get a good deal! 

Yes, it's 2871 as in the year 2871. I traveled all this way, back in time, just to help you. And you thought your mama lied when she said you were special. -_-

small edits- the gpu now fits with ur colour scheme - strongly advising you to pick up a nzxt s340 or s340 elite white because there isn't enough white in your build right now to count as a black and white build - a basic cable mod kit thats white and some cable combs would work too
